Nuggets Halt Late Celtics Rally

The Boston Celtics came into their game against the Nuggets on a high note.

Boston was 3-0 on their west coast trip, having beaten the Kings, Lakers, and Trailblazers. The streak, however, would end in Denver, where the Nuggets beat the Celtics 114-105 on Sunday.

The Nuggets started the game hot and built up a 37-19 lead by the end of the 1st quarter. Despite Denver extending that lead to upwards of 20 in the second quarter, the Celtics, looking lost and confused, battled hard and was able to outscore the Nuggets 28-17 in the 2nd quarter cutting their deficit nearly in half.

this game showed me the C's could still battle even with the age. and as the other article showed, Nate can help. he is able to score lots of points in a short period of time, so in those times when the Celts are running cold he can come in a be a lightning bolt for us.
